Nymox is pleased to present its audited financial statements for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
On January 23, Nymox reported that the Independent Data Monitoring Committee for the Companys pivotal trial of NX-1207 for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) had given a positive recommendation based on evaluation of the data in the Companys Phase 2 trial. The Independent Data Monitoring Committee is an arms length independent body which examined unblinded trial results and reached a favorable conclusion, and recommended continuation of the trial.
On May 16, Nymox reported new long term efficacy results from the earlier open-label Phase 1-2 testing of NX-1207. Patients in the trial of NX-1207 who were available for follow-up were administered AUA Symptom Score evaluations after periods of 29-34 months post treatment. The mean AUA score in patients treated with NX-1207 showed a 6.9 point greater improvement compared to controls. This exceeded results from the initial 30 day study of NX-1207 previously reported. 75% of the subjects in the trial were available for follow-up. Of these, 57% of the subjects treated with NX-1207 required no further treatment for BPH symptoms, and showed a mean improvement of 7.2 points in AUA scores. The remaining group of subjects (43%) received other BPH treatments (other approved available drugs or procedures) after their initial treatment with NX-1207. The latter group showed an initial mean improvement with NX-1207 of 10 points, which was greater than their subsequent response to other treatments (mean improvement of 0.3 points). There were no serious safety issues reported in individuals treated with NX-1207.
On June 9, Nymox announced that patient dosing in the Companys multi-center Phase 2 clinical trial of NX-1207 was completed. On June 27, Nymox reported that the Companys new updated Safety Committee review of safety data for the multi-center U.S. Phase 2 trial of NX-1207 had revealed no serious drug side effects.
On September 19, Nymox announced positive efficacy and safety results from the completed Phase 2 trial of NX-1207 for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). 43 clinical trial sites across the U.S. and 175 subjects participated in the prospective randomized double-blind, placebo controlled trial. Overall, patients treated with NX-1207 showed a total pooled mean improvement of 9.35 points in the primary outcome endpoint of AUA Symptom Score values, which reached statistical significance when compared with the placebo control (p=.017). The mean improvements in AUA Symptom Score for each of the 3 doses used in the trial ranged from 8.10 to 11.03 points with statistical significance measures of p=.015 to 0.17. Published studies of currently approved drugs for BPH show AUA Symptom Score improvement in the 3.5 to 5 point range. The AUA Symptom Score is a standardized measurement of BPH symptoms and includes data on 1) sensations of incomplete emptying of the bladder; 2) need to urinate frequently; 3) stopping and starting during urination; 4) urgent need to urinate; 5) weakness of urinary stream; 6) need to push or strain during urination; and 7) urination during sleep (nocturia). The treated subjects also showed an overall significant reduction in mean prostate volume (secondary outcome) of 11.7% (6.84 grams; p=.02). The results of the trial demonstrated the excellent safety and side effect profile of NX-1207. Subjects treated with NX-1207 had no serious side effects from the drug. In particular, patients given NX-1207 had no (0%) significant sexual side effects. Patients were enrolled who had AUA Symptom Score values of = 15 points and prostate volumes of = 40 grams. Patients were assessed by medical and symptom evaluation, prostate volume studies, uroflow measurements, laboratory and safety parameters at baseline and repeatedly over the course of 3 months. Outcome variables were based on analysis after 3 months.

On January 20, Nymox announced that positive results from successful clinical studies of the Companys AlzheimAlert test were presented at the Annual Symposium of the American Medical Directors Association in Dallas. Study results were presented by first author Dr. Ira Goodman of the Orlando Regional Healthcare System. Dr. Goodman was a principal investigator in the reported studies and is Chairman of the Department of Neurology of the Orlando Regional Healthcare System, and Director of the Memory Disorder Clinic and Associate Clinical Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Florida School of Medicine. In addition to data, several specific case histories in the presentation highlighted the usefulness of the AlzheimAlert technology. The presentation also included cases where the AlzheimAlert accuracy was confirmed by longer clinical follow-up and by brain biopsy. On May 2, Nymox announced that positive results from successful clinical studies of the Companys AlzheimAlert test were presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association held in Toronto from May 20 to 25, 2006. Recognized worldwide, the American Psychiatric Association has over 35,000 U.S. and international member physicians.
On February 13, Nymox announced that it has entered into an agreement with Lab21 Limited for the provision of Nymoxs AlzheimAlert testing in the U.K. Lab21 provides technically advanced clinical testing services for the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare providers in the U.K. through its extensive, fully accredited laboratory facilities in Cambridge, England. On June 14, Nymox announced that it had entered into an agreement with Kyung Min Meditech Co., Ltd. for the marketing and sale of the Companys AlzheimAlert kit in the Korean Republic. Kyung Min Meditech is a Korean medical device distributor headquartered in Seoul, Korea.
On October 4, Nymox announced the publication of a peer-reviewed report on the successful results of a multi-center double blind independent clinical study of the Companys urinary AlzheimAlert test in the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association (www.jamda.com). The newly published independent peer-review study from 8 prestigious centers across the U.S. found the level of accuracy of the Alzheimalert urine test to be over 90%. The study was double-blind and involved expert assessments and state of the art clinical correlations and continued evaluations. The article, A Multi-Center Blinded Prospective Study of Urine Neural Thread Protein Measurements in Patients With Suspected Alzheimers Disease, was authored by Dr. Ira Goodman of Orlando Regional Healthcare System, Dr. Greg Golden of Thomas Jefferson University Medical School, Dr. Stephen Flitman of 21st Century Neurology, Phoenix AZ, Dr. Kevin Xie of Centra Care Clinic, St. Cloud MN, Dr. Zinaida Lebedeva of University Hospitals Health Care System, Beachwood OH, Dr. Alireza Minagar of Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Shreveport LA, Dr. Earl Zimmerman of Albany Medical College, Albany NY, Dr. Ralph Richter of University of Oklahoma, Tulsa OK, and Dr. Susanna Levy, Matthew McConville and Dr. Paul Averback of Nymox Corp.
Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) authored a study in the peer-review literature using NicAlert (Journal of Analytical Toxicology November/December, 2005; 29: 814-818). In the CDC study, NicAlert measurements correlated well with the far more complex laboratory testing (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) used in the CDC laboratory.
4
Other independent peer-reviewed studies have also found the technology employed in NicAlert to be accurate, rapid and cost-effective. One study, (Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention 2002; 11: 1123-1125) found that the results obtained using Nymoxs tobacco product exposure test had an excellent agreement with state-of-the-art sophisticated laboratory measurements but at a substantially lower cost (over 90% less). Another study, (Nicotine & Tobacco Research 2002; 4: 305-9) found Nymoxs product to be an inexpensive and rapid method to routinely biochemically confirm smoking status at a clinical visit.
On January 25, Nymox announced that NicAlert, the Companys tobacco exposure test, had achieved certification with the CE Mark. The CE Mark indicates that the product complies with EU safety, environmental, and quality standards and makes the product eligible for sale in the European Union. NicAlert previously received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for determining smoking status for medical uses in the U.S. Nymox has satisfactorily completed the testing and registration required to obtain CE Marking for the NicAlert test. In the same month, Nymox announced that it has entered into an agreement with g-Nostics Ltd in the U.K. for the sale and marketing of Nymoxs NicAlert.
On February 17, Nymox announced that the results from the successfully completed clinical studies of the Companys saliva version of the NicAlert test for tobacco exposure was presented at the 12th Annual Meeting of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco (SRNT) in Orlando, FL. The Society currently has over a thousand members, including many of the top experts on nicotine and tobacco from over 20 countries around the world. The independent research studies were carried out in family practice medical clinics under the supervision of principal investigators, Dr. N. Montalto and Dr. W. Wells. Dr. Montalto is a clinical expert in the field of tobacco use and dependency, and is Professor in the Department of Family Medicine at West Virginia University in Charleston, WV, and Director of the Freedom from Tobacco Use Program in Charleston. Dr. Wells is Principal Investigator and Medical Director of Clinical Research Centers of Tennessee in Lebanon, TN, with expertise in tobacco dependency. The studies clearly showed that the saliva test is easily performed without training, and is accurate, reproducible and highly useful in the general medical setting. In July, Nymox announced that results from clinical studies of the Companys NicAlert Saliva test for tobacco product use and exposure were presented at the 13th World Conference on Tobacco or Health in Washington DC. The World Conference included the top experts on nicotine and tobacco from around the world. The presentation of the NicAlert saliva study results were made by Dr. Norman J. Montalto, one of the principal investigators in the studies.
On May 5, Nymox announced that the Companys saliva-based version of its NicAlert product for testing for tobacco use or exposure had achieved certification in Europe with the CE Mark. On May 3, Nymox announced the launch of its TobacAlert product in the U.K. by Adastra Medical Ltd. The country-wide marketing campaign includes a new web site, www.tobacalert.co.uk, devoted to the second-hand smoke test. On May 4, Nymox announced that it had entered into a new distribution agreement with Alifax S.p.A., a leading Italian medical diagnostic company, for the marketing and sales of its NicAlert product in Italy. On July 28, Nymox announced that the Companys NicAlert product will be used in a large smoking cessation study in collaboration with g-Nostics Ltd. in the U.K. The program will involve approximately 1,200 patients and 36 pharmacies assessing the clinical and cost effectiveness of g-Nostics Ltd.s innovative pharmacogenetic smoking intervention, when used in a primary care setting. NicAlert will be used both for the initial measurement of cotinine levels in the subjects and to validate smoking status throughout the program.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
The business activities of the Company since inception have been devoted principally to research and development. Accordingly, the Company has had limited revenues from sales and has not been profitable to date. We refer to the Corporate Profile for a discussion of the Companys research and development projects and its product pipeline. We refer to the Risk Factors section of our 20F filed on EDGAR for a discussion of the management and investment issues that affect the Company and our industry.
In December 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies. According to the SEC release, accounting policies are among the most critical if they are, in managements view, most important to the portrayal of the companys financial condition and most demanding on their calls for judgment.
Our accounting policies are described in the notes to our annual audited consolidated financial statements. We consider the following policies to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our financial statements and the matters that could impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
The Company has generally derived its revenue from product sales, research contracts, license fees and interest. Revenue from product sales is recognized when the product or service has been delivered or obligations as defined in the agreement are performed. Revenue from research contracts is recognized at the time research activities are performed under the agreement. Revenue from license fees, royalties and milestone payments is recognized upon the fulfillment of all obligations under the terms of the related agreement. These agreements may include upfront payments to be received by the Company. Upfront payments are recognized as revenue on a systematic basis over the period that the related services or obligations as defined in the agreement are performed. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis. Deferred revenue presented in the balance sheet represents amounts billed to and received from customers in advance of revenue recognition.
The Company currently markets AlzheimAlert as a service provided by our CLIA certified reference laboratory in New Jersey. Physicians send urine samples taken from their patients to our laboratory where the AlzheimAlert test is performed. The results are then reported back to the physicians. We recognize the revenues when the test has been performed. The Company sometimes enters into bulk sales of its diagnostic services to customers under which it has a future obligation to perform related testing services at its laboratory. Although the Company receives non-refundable upfront payments under these agreements, revenue is recognized in the period that the Company fulfils its obligation or over the term of the arrangement. For research contracts and licensing revenues, the Company usually enters into an agreement specifying the terms and obligations of the parties. Revenues from these sources are only recognized when there are no longer any obligations to be performed by the Company under the terms of the agreement.

Valuation of Capital Assets
The Company reviews the unamortized balance of property and equipment, intellectual property rights and patents on an annual basis and recognizes any impairment in carrying value when it is identified. Factors we consider important, which could trigger an impairment review include:
| Significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business; and |
| Significant negative industry or economic trends. |
Valuation of Future Income Tax Assets
Management judgement is required in determining the valuation allowance recorded against net future tax assets. We have recorded a valuation allowance of $13.5 million as of December 31, 2006, due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize some of our future tax assets, primarily consisting of net operating losses carried forward and other unclaimed deductions, before they expire. In assessing the realizability of future tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of future tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and tax planning strategies. The generation of future taxable income is dependent on the successful commercialization of its products and technologies.

Results of Operations 2006 compared to 2005
Net losses were $1,234,985, or $0.04 per share, for the quarter and $4,893,685, or $0.18 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $821,088, or $0.03 per share, and $3,584,528, or $0.14 per share, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2005. The weighted, diluted, average number of common shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 27,711,981 compared to 26,103,704 for the same period in 2005.
Revenues
Revenues from sales amounted to $83,478 for the quarter and $437,440 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared with $106,082 for the quarter and $424,506 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Higher sales of AlzheimAlert (increase of 29%) accounted for the increase in 2006 compared to 2005. The Company anticipates that revenues will increase if and when product candidates pass regulatory milestones and are launched on the market.
Research and Development
Research and development expenditures were $2,594,714 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared with $1,831,591 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Increased expenses relating to moving product candidates through clinical trials explains the increase. In 2006, research tax credits amounted to $53,618 compared to $3,075 in 2005 as a result of additional expenditures claimed for refundable tax credits in 2006 compared to 2005. The Company anticipates that research and development expenditures will not increase significantly as product candidates finish development and clinical trials. However, because of the early stage of development of the Companys R&D projects, it is impossible to outline the nature, timing or estimated costs of the efforts necessary to complete these projects, nor the anticipated completion dates for these projects. The facts and circumstances indicating the uncertainties that preclude us from making a reasonable estimate of the costs and timing necessary to complete projects include the risks inherent in any field trials, the uncertainty as to the nature and extent of regulatory requirements both for safety and efficacy, and the ability to manufacture the products in accordance with current good manufacturing requirements (cGMP) and in sufficient quantities both for large scale trials and for commercial use. A drug candidate that shows efficacy can take a long period (7 years or more) to achieve regulatory approval. There is also uncertainty whether we will be able to successfully adapt our patented technologies or whether any new products we develop will pass proof-of-principle testing both in the laboratory and in clinical trials, and whether we will be able to manufacture such products at a commercially competitive price. In addition, given the very high costs of development of therapeutic products, we anticipate having to partner with larger pharmaceutical companies to conduct and finance clinical trials. The terms of such partnership arrangements along with our related financial obligations cannot be determined at this time and the timing of completion of the approval of such products will likely not be within our sole control.
Marketing Expenses
Marketing expenditures were $236,054 for the year ended December 31, 2006, in comparison to expenditures of $273,392 for the year ended December 31, 2005 due to a reduction in advertising expenses. The Company anticipates that marketing expenditures will increase if and when new products are launched on the market.
9
Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses amounted to $954,397 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared with $1,202,080 in the year ended December 31, 2005, due to lower expenditures for salaries (decrease of 17.6%), shareholder relations (decrease of 35.6%), insurance (decrease of 37.9%), and courier and shipping charges (decrease of 61.7%). The Company anticipates that general and administrative expenditures will increase as new product development leads to expanded operations.
Foreign Exchange
The Company incurs expenses in the local currency of the countries in which it operates, which include the United States and Canada. Approximately 75% of 2006 expenses (70% in 2005) were in U.S. dollars. Foreign exchange fluctuations had no meaningful impact on the Companys results in 2006 or 2005.
Inflation
The Company does not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on its results of operations.
Long-Term Commitments
Nymox has no financial obligations of significance other than long-term lease commitments for its premises in the United States and Canada of $19,582 per month.

Results of Operations 2005 compared to 2004
Net losses were $821,088, or $0.03 per share, for the quarter and $3,584,528, or $0.14 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $944,272, or $0.04 per share, and $3,745,625, or $0.15 per share, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2004. The weighted, diluted, average number of common shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2005 were 26,103,704 compared to 25,103,252 for the same period in 2004.

A steady rise in the number of new clients ordering the NicAlert / TobacAlert product (increase of 31%) and the launch of the AlzheimAlert product in Europe (increase of 40%) account for the increase in sales.
10
Research and Development
Research and development expenditures remained constant at $1,831,591 for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared with $1,861,239 for the year ended December 31, 2004. In 2005, research tax credits amounted to $3,075 compared to $9,358 in 2004.
Marketing Expenses
Marketing expenditures were $273,392 for the year ended December 31, 2005, in comparison to expenditures of $291,429 for the year ended December 31, 2004 due to a reduction in advertising expenses.
Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant at $1,202,080 for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared with $1,158,750 in the year ended December 31, 2004.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information is gathered and reported to senior management on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure. The Companys Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures. They are assisted in this responsibility by the Companys disclosure committee, which is composed of members of senior management. Based on an evaluation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2006.
Financial instruments:
On January 1, 2007, the Corporation will adopt CICA Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income, CICA Handbook Section 3251, Equity, CICA Handbook Section 3855, Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement, CICA Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments Disclosures, and CICA Handbook Section 3865, Hedges. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of the standards to have a material effect on its financial statements.
Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes:
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entitys financial statements. The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. This FASB interpretation is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operation.
11
Fair value measurements:
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to materially impact its financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

This message contains certain forward-looking statements as defined in the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate and the actual results and future events could differ materially from managements current expectations. Such factors are detailed from time to time in Nymoxs filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory authorities.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management and were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. Management is responsible for the information and representations contained in these financial statements and other sections of this Annual Report. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. The reconciliation to U.S. GAAP is presented in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended December 31,
2006, 2005 and 2004
(in US dollars)
1. | Business activities: |
Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation (the Corporation), incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act, including its subsidiaries, Nymox Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, and Serex Inc. of New Jersey, is a biopharmaceutical corporation which specializes in the research and development of products for the aging population. The Corporation is currently marketing AlzheimAlertTM, a urinary test that aids physicians in the diagnosis of Alzheimers disease. The Corporation also markets NicAlertTM and TobacAlertTM, tests that use urine or saliva to detect use of tobacco products. The Corporation is also developing therapeutics for the treatment of Alzheimers disease, new treatments for benign prostate hyperplasia, and new anti-bacterial agents for the treatment of urinary tract and other bacterial infections in humans, including a treatment for E-coli O157:H7 bacterial contamination in meat and other food and drink products. |
Since 1989, the Corporations activities and resources have been primarily focused on developing certain pharmaceutical technologies. The Corporation is subject to a number of risks, including the successful development and marketing of its technologies. In order to achieve its business plan and the realization of its assets and liabilities in the normal course of operations, the Corporation anticipates the need to raise additional capital and/or achieve sales and other revenue generating activities. Management believes that funds from operations as well as existing financing facilities will be sufficient to meet the Corporations requirements for the next year. |
The Corporation is listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market. |
2. | Significant accounting policies: |
(a) | Consolidation: |
The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and include the accounts of its US subsidiaries, Nymox Corporation and Serex Inc. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. |
Consolidated financial statements prepared under US GAAP would differ in some respects from those prepared in Canada. A reconciliation of earnings and shareholders equity reported in accordance with Canadian GAAP and with US GAAP is presented in note 12. |
(b) | Inventories: |
Inventories consist of finished goods and are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on the basis of weighted average cost. |

2. | Significant accounting policies (continued): |
(c) | Property and equipment, patents and intellectual property: |
Property and equipment, patents and intellectual property are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method at the following rates: |
Asset |
Rate |
Laboratory equipment |
20% |
Computer equipment | 20% |
Office equipment and fixtures | 20% |
Intellectual property rights acquired | 10% |
Direct costs incurred in connection with securing the patents are capitalized. Patents are being amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of their economic useful lives or their legal terms of existence ranging from 17 to 20 years. |
In 2004, the Corporation amended its method of amortizing patent costs to be consistent with the treatment followed by the Corporation under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain patents were initially amortized by the Corporation commencing in the year of commercialization of the developed products for Canadian GAAP purposes. The Corporation now amortizes all patents over the legal life of the patents from the date the patent is secured. This change was applied retroactively and decreased amounts previously reported for patents and intellectual property on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2003 by $119,714 and increased the accumulated deficit at December 31, 2003 by $119,714. The change did not have a material impact on the statements of operations for the periods presented. |
(d) | Impairment and disposal of long-lived assets: |
Long-lived assets, consisting of property and equipment and intangible assets with definite useful lives, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for long-lived assets, when the carrying amount of an asset to be held and used exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and disposal; the impairment recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the net asset exceeds its fair value. |

2. | Significant accounting policies (continued): |
(e) | Revenue recognition: |
Revenue from product sales is recognized when the product or service has been delivered or obligations as defined in the agreement are performed. Revenue from research contracts is recognized at the time research activities are performed under the agreement. Revenue from license fees, royalties and milestone payments is recognized upon the fulfillment of all obligations under the terms of the related agreement. These agreements may include upfront payments to be received by the Corporation. Upfront payments are recognized as revenue on a systematic basis over the period that the related services or obligations as defined in the agreement are performed. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis. |
Revenues from agreements that include multiple elements are considered to be a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables. Under this type of arrangement, the identification of separate units of accounting is required and revenue is recognized for each unit as described above. |
Deferred revenue represents amounts billed to and received from customers in advance of revenue recognition. |
(f) | Research and development expenditures: |
Research expenditures, net of research tax credits, are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures, net of tax credits, are expensed as incurred, except if they meet the criteria for deferral in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. |
(g) | Foreign currency translation: |
The Corporations measurement currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities of the Canadian and foreign operations denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar are translated at the exchange rates prevailing when the assets were acquired or the liabilities incurred. Revenues and expenses denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the year, except for depreciation and amortization which are translated at the same rates as those used in the translation of the corresponding assets. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the translation are included in the determination of net earnings. |
Foreign exchange gains included in the consolidated statements of operations for fiscal 2006 amounted to $8,092 (2005 $32,243; 2004 $10,279). |

2. | Significant accounting policies (continued): |
(h) | Stock-based compensation plan: |
Effective January 1, 2004, the Corporation adopted the recommendations of the CICA which require entities to account for employee stock options using the fair value based method beginning January 1, 2004. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at fair value at the date of grant and is expensed over the awards vesting period. In accordance with one of the transitional options permitted under the standard, the Corporation has retroactively applied the fair value based method to all employee stock options granted on or after January 1, 2002 without restatement of prior periods. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting policy of $548,164 has been recorded as an increase in the opening deficit and additional paid-in capital at January 1, 2004. |
Prior to January 1, 2004, the Corporation applied the fair value based method of accounting prescribed by the CICA only to stock-based payments to non-employees, employee awards that were direct awards of stock, call for settlement in cash or other assets, and to employee stock appreciation rights; the Corporation applied the settlement method of accounting to employee stock options. Under the settlement method, any consideration paid by employees on the exercise of stock options was credited to share capital and no compensation cost was recognized. |
(i) | Income taxes: |
The Corporation accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences (differences between the accounting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities), and are measured using the currently enacted, or substantively enacted, tax rates and laws expected to apply when these differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded against any future income tax asset, if it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. |
(j) | Earnings per share: |
Basic earnings per share are determined using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed in a manner consistent with basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding options and warrants were exercised, and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period. |

(k) | Guarantees: |
In the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into various agreements that may contain features that meet the definition of a guarantee. A guarantee is defined to be a contract (including an indemnity) that contingently requires the Corporation to make payments to a third party based on (i) changes in an underlying interest rate, foreign exchange rate, equity or commodity instrument, index or other variable, that is related to an asset, a liability or an equity security of the counterparty, (ii) failure of another party to perform under an obligating agreement or (iii) failure of another party to pay its indebtedness when due. |
A liability is recorded when the Corporation considers probable that a payment relating to a guarantee has to be made to the other party of the contract or agreements. |
(l) | Use of estimates: |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include estimating the useful lives of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, as well as estimating the recoverability of research tax credits receivable and future tax assets. The reported amounts and note disclosure are determined to reflect the most probable set of economic conditions and planned courses of action. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

(b) | Common Stock Private Purchase Agreement: |
In October 2005, the Corporation entered into a Common Stock Private Purchase Agreement with an investment company (the Purchaser) that established the terms and conditions for the purchase of common shares by the Purchaser. In November 2006, this agreement was terminated and a new agreement was concluded with the Purchaser. In general, the Corporation can, at its discretion, require the Purchaser to purchase up to $13 million of common shares over a twenty-four-month period based on notices given by the Corporation. |
The number of shares to be issued in connection with each notice shall be equal to the amount specified in the notice, divided by 97% of the average price of the Corporations common shares for the five days preceding the giving of the notice. The maximum amount of each notice is $500,000 and the minimum amount is $100,000. The Corporation may terminate the agreement before the 24-month term, if it has issued at least $8 million of common shares under the agreement. |
In 2006, the Corporation issued 1,593,472 (2005 1,224,719) common shares to the Purchaser for aggregate proceeds of $4,955,000 (2005 $2,935,000) under the agreements. At December 31, 2006, the Corporation can require the Purchaser to purchase up to $12,400,000 of common shares over the remaining 22 months of the agreement. |

(c) | Stock options: |
The Corporation has established a stock option plan (the Plan) for its key employees, its officers and directors, and certain consultants. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Board may from time to time designate individuals to whom options to purchase common shares of the Corporation may be granted, the number of shares to be optioned to each, and the option price per share. The option price per share cannot involve a discount to the market price at the time the option is granted. The total number of shares to be optioned to any one individual cannot exceed 5% of the total issued and outstanding shares, and the maximum number of shares which may be optioned under the Plan cannot exceed 2,500,000 common shares without shareholder approval. Options under the Plan expire ten years after grant and vest either immediately or over periods up to five years. |

8. | Commitments and contingencies: |

Minimum lease payments under operating leases that were entered into by the Corporation for the next four years are as follows: |
2007 | $ | 246,000 | |||
2008 | 251,000 | ||||
2009 | 247,000 | ||||
2010 | 163,000 | ||||
$ | 907,000 | ||||
In 2005, the Corporation entered into new operating lease agreements for its Canadian and US premises, both of which will expire on August 31, 2010. In connection with these agreements, the Company received lease inducements totaling $48,101. These amounts are being taken into income on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rental expense over the term of the leases. At December 31, 2006, the remaining deferred lease inducement was $35,284, of which $9,623 has been classified in current liabilities and $25,661 has been classified as long-term. |
(b) | Contingency: |
In 2005 and 2006, the Corporation received proposed notices of assessments relating to its 2001, 2002 and 2003 taxation years from the Canadian taxation authorities reducing the Corporations claim for research and development tax credits in those taxation years. The reductions include refundable tax credits totaling $66,864, which were previously received by the Corporation, and non-refundable tax credits totaling $122,121, which are available to reduce future federal income taxes payable over the carryforward period to 2013. The non-refundable credits were not previously recognized for financial statement purposes. The Corporation has filed a notice of objection to the assessments with the taxation authorities since it believes it meets the criteria for claiming the tax credits and that the taxation authorities erred in their assessments. The Corporation has not recorded a provision for this matter. |

9. | Income taxes: (continued) |
In assessing the realizability of future tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of future tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and tax planning strategies. The generation of future taxable income is dependent on the successful commercialization of the Companys products and technologies. |

10. | Earnings per share (continued): |
(a) | Basic and diluted earnings per share (continued): |
Excluded from the above calculations are 900,500 stock options which were deemed to be anti-dilutive because the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares (2005 1,518,000 options; 2004 409,500 options and 293,334 warrants). |
(b) | Stock-based compensation: |
The weighted average fair value of each option granted in 2006 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions used in 2006 were as follows: |
2006 | 2005 | 2004 | |||||||||
Risk-free interest rate |
4.14 | % | -- | -- | |||||||
Expected volatility | 66.04 | % | -- | -- | |||||||
Expected life in years | 5 | -- | -- | ||||||||
Dividend yield | 0 | % | -- | -- | |||||||
Dividend yield was excluded from the calculation, since it is the present policy of the Corporation to retain all earnings to finance operations. |
The following table summarizes the weighted average grant-date fair value per share for options granted during the year ended December 31, 2006: |
Year | Number of options | Weighted average grant-date fair value per share | |||||||||
Exercise price per share equal to |
|||||||||||
market price per share at date of grant | 2006 | 840,500 | $ | 1.47 | |||||||
No options were granted by the Corporation in 2005 and 2004. Stock-based compensation in fiscal 2005 and 2004 relates to the amortization of compensation cost for options granted in 2003 over the vesting periods. |

11. | Financial instruments: |
(a) | Foreign currency risk management: |
Effective January 1, 2000, the Corporation adopted the US dollar as its measurement currency because a substantial portion of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities of its Canadian and US operations are denominated in US dollars. The Canadian operation also has transactions denominated in Canadian dollars, principally relating to salaries and rent. Fluctuations in the currency used for the payment of the Corporations expenses denominated in currencies other than the US dollar could cause unanticipated fluctuations in the Corporations operating results. The Corporation does not engage in the use of derivative financial instruments to manage its currency exposures. |
(b) | Fair value disclosure: |
Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time using available information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and often cannot be determined with precision. |
The Corporation has determined that the carrying value of its short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of the long-term receivables cannot be determined because settlement is tied to the redemption of the preferred shares. See note 6. |
(c) | Credit risk: |
Credit risk results from the possibility that a loss may occur from the failure of another party to perform according to the terms of the contract. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Corporation to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. Cash is maintained with a high-credit quality financial institution. For accounts receivable, the Corporation performs periodic credit evaluations and typically does not require collateral. Allowances are maintained for potential credit losses consistent with the credit risk, historical trends, general economic conditions and other information. |
(d) | Interest rate risk: |
The Companys exposure to interest rate risk is as follows: |
Cash |
Fixed interest rate |
Notes payable | Floating interest rate |

(i) | Change in reporting currency: |
For US GAAP purposes, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No-123R, Share-Based Payments, on January 1, 2006, which requires the expensing of all options issued, modified or settled based on the grant date fair value over the period during which the employee is required to provide service. The Corporation adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective approach, which requires application of the standard to all awards granted, modified or cancelled after January 1, 2006 and to all awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered as at such date. |
The Corporation adopted the US dollar as its reporting currency effective January 1, 2000. For Canadian GAAP purposes, the financial information for 1999 has been translated into US dollars at the December 31, 1999 exchange rate. For United States GAAP reporting purposes, assets and liabilities for all years presented have been translated into US dollars at the ending exchange rate for the respective year, and the statement of earnings, at the average exchange rate for the respective year. |
(ii) | Stock-based compensation: |
Previously, the Corporation elected to follow the intrinsic value method of accounting under ABP 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, in accounting for stock options granted to employees and directors. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation cost is recognized for the difference between the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date and the amount the individual must pay to acquire the stock. In addition, in accordance with FAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, compensation related to the stock options granted to non-employees prior to January 1, 2002 has been recorded in the accounts based on the fair value of the stock options at the grant date. |
For Canadian GAAP purposes, the Corporation uses the fair value method of accounting for stock options granted to employees after January 1, 2004. |

(e) | Recent accounting pronouncements: |

On January 1, 2007, the Corporation will adopt CICA Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income, CICA Handbook Section 3251, Equity, CICA Handbook Section 3855, Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement, CICA Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments Disclosures, and CICA Handbook Section 3865, Hedges. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of the standards to have a material effect on its financial statements. |
(2) | Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes: |
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entitys financial statements. The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. This FASB interpretation is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operation. |

12. | Canadian/U.S. Reporting Differences (continued): |
(e) | Recent accounting pronouncements (continued): |
(3) | Fair value measurements: |
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to materially impact its financial statements. |
